An English fansite about Hikaru No Go manga can be found at http://www.geocities.com/thegoinstitute/ --waya26
5 December 2003: There are three new wallpaper HNG images at http://www.3dgo.org, including a crossover with the 3D images, and a collection of those cute mini-toons. -- Scartol
Also, there seems to be a collectible card game (a la Magic the Gathering/Pokemon) coming out, check this page) for a preview!
The official site is
here, but it's in Japanese.
The prophecy in the article at the bottom of this page seems to be coming true...
The go club that Hikaru, Isumi, and Waya play at in chapters 69 and 70 is real - the Dogenzaka Igo Salon near Shibuya station in Tokyo. There are some
pictures but I can't find Hikaru anywhere! DaveSigaty
Yes - This was the club where I learnt to play go. The only difference between the real thing and the manga (apart from me, obviously) was that Hikaru etc seem to enter the club through the toilet :-) --Kokiri
